This service provides independent third-party certification of an organization’s Food Safety Management System against the requirements of ISO 22000:2018. The certification process assesses whether the FSMS is established, implemented, maintained, and effective in managing food safety hazards, prerequisite programs (PRPs), operational PRPs, and HACCP-based controls.
Certification activities typically include application review, Stage 1 audit (system readiness and documentation review), Stage 2 audit (implementation and effectiveness assessment), certification decision, and ongoing surveillance audits during the certification cycle. Audit conclusions are based on objective evidence, documented findings, and defined certification rules.
Certification is granted and maintained subject to continued conformity with ISO 22000 requirements and successful completion of surveillance audits.
